I am an assistant professor in the Computational Science and
Engineering Division of the College of Computing
at
Georgia Tech, working in
the area
of
high-performance
computing. I joined in the Fall 2007.
I am developing automated tools and techniques to tune, to analyze, and to
debug software for large-scale machines. I aggressively exploit
application-specific (or, “domain-specific”) information
where possible, and build on ideas from computer
architecture, compiler optimization, and
statistical machine learning.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of
California, Berkeley, in January 2004, in the
BeBOP group, under Profs.
James Demmel and
Katherine Yelick. I was
recently a post-doctoral researcher in the
Center for Applied Scientific
Computing at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where I
worked with
Dr. Dan
Quinlan on the
ROSE
project.
I am a great admirer of human ingenuity, as exemplified by
The
Watts Towers
in Los Angeles, and Peeps Shows
I
and
II,
among others.
